BERNAL, QUERÉTARO - Hola amigos and welcome back to Mexico! Today we are leaving Querétaro for the day heading east to the small Pueblo Magico (Magic Town) of Bernal, well known for it's colourful, colonial architecture and Peña de Bernal (Rock of Bernal) which not only is one of the 13 Wonders of Mexico but also the TALLEST monolith in the world!
    It's also Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), which, although more celebrated in the US, still sees some activity in terms of parades and celebrations.
    So get ready to check out Bernal, climb the monolith, learn about the state of Querétaro and sample some food native to the area! Bernal has to be one of my favourite places in Mexico, a MUST if you a planning a Mexico vacation in 2019!
    MUSIC - (all Epidemic Sound)
    "Nothing is Lost" - Andreas Ericson (intro & final montage)
    "Scintilla" - David Celeste (walking into Bernal and up the monolith)
    "Bridges of Hope" - Rannar Sillard (climbing the monolith)

    Hi there! Nice video. It felt very honest. It seems you needed that climb to get reenergized and change your perspective. I don't know what kind of dance that was. It felt like a very local version of 5 May festivities. It was strange. Uhm, you answered a question I had about you for long: why you travel the world alone, without a companion, without attaching to anything? In this video you finally answered that question. I respect your sincerity and braveness. It's not easy at all to keep honest to your ideals and live by your own in total freedom but also totally responsible for your life. That takes courage. I am 46 now. I always wanted to get to know the world like you, like a nomad. I am not old but I am not that youg either. I live a regular life with a job from 8 to 5 and many times I wondered how my life would be if I had the courage to be a nomad: well, I only need to watch your videos to get some flavour about how modern nomadic life is. I find your life inspirational to some degree. Warm congrats for that. Before you leave Queretaro state,I possible try to the town of Jalpan de Serra and the Franciscan Missions of the 18th Century built up there in the Queretaro Sierra. If you like colonial colorful architecture those missions will blow your mind. And they are World Heritage sites by UN, by the way. Good luck. Cheers

    Love this video! Thank you for taking us to places less travelled. Bernal and Queretero are high on our list for our Mexico trip next winter.
    Thanks also for the shout out to Western Canada. I googled largest monoliths - The Chief in Squamish, British Columbia (about 1 hour north of Vancouver) is on the list. The Chef is a great hike. There are 3 peaks, all with outstanding views of ocean and mountains.

    "I don't know what this is. I thought it was a mini chicken maybe," says David as he flips over a patita de puerco!! I almost died laughing!!! Besides there being part of a ham hock on the plate there was also cactus. It was underneath the enchiladas. Fantastic video. As always, well done.

    Hello David another great video men!!! Hermoso lugar, la última vez que estuve ahí fue con mi papá hace poco más de 10 años y teniamos pensado escalar la peña, pero nos pusimos una borrachera de aquellas y ya no pudimos subirla!!! 😂 😂 😂 Por cierto la peña siempre me recordó la película Close Encountres of the Third Kind de Spielberg además de que según Bernal es el tercer monolito más grande del mundo detrás del de pan de azúcar de Brasil y el de Gibraltar!!!

    Those feather crowns are their own invention. It wasn't like that before the Spanish arrived. In fact, most of those feathers are from Asia, from Chinese pheasant, that has absolutely nothing to do with the Americas and Mesoamerica. The same happens with the poor Apache. They never wore feather crowns. It was the Sioux, far far away from the Apache country.

    The church thingy is actually a family chapel where people put their cremated dead and honor them on the Day of the Dead. I believe the tradition is protected by UNESCO.
